-SAP XI Interfaces-

This week was pretty cool.  We went to the computer lab to work with SAP XI.  We learned the Design data types, Design message types using data types and created an interface using message types.  I have never used SAP, so I was a little worried at first that I would struggle using the interface.  When we started to log onto the Integration Builder Design, following the lab instructions was pretty fun and worked seemlessly for me.  This lab exercise will help me out on out future project and having some background in SAP will also give me something to talk about with potential employers in the near future.

As for this week, we also had a Health Services reading and proposal for a term paper due.  Learning about the different integrated systems that the health field has and difficulties in implementing new technologies was interesting to me.  For my term paper, I have chosen to research and write about Portals, business and web based portals.  Finding information shouldn't be hard, but I would like recommendations to further my research.
